Re: SV: BALD EAGLE! yikes!



It would seem that the video records more than one event. Also, given the number of camera angles, some quite creative and artistic, it would appear that this is a frequent enough event that one can set up for it. I would assume something this unusual yet common would have been reported in the ornithological literature. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks

Dan

me fall over the cliff edge.
